She demended the resignation of Mamata Banerjee."What did she say? Muslims live nicely during Ramzan. Is this an example of that? She is with Muslims for vote bank and appeasement politics.

This has been happening one after the other...This should be probed by National Investigation Agency (NIA)," added Chatterjee.Union Minister Anurag Thakur also condemned the violence in West Bengal."During Mamata Banerjee's rule, journalists were attacked, stone pelting was done during Ram Navami processions. If journalists are becoming victims of violence and the State government remains a mute spectator, what can be more shameful than this? The more it is condemned, the less it is..." Thakur said.
